Gretchen, I’m old enough to be your grandmother but somehow found your channel and really enjoy it. I was crying with you when you were talking about your dad. The grandma in me sends you hugs 🤗

I did too. I can’t imagine how she feels but Gretchen if you’re reading this, I’m sending you big cyber hugs 💙💙

Gretchen those dreams you have with your dad are sent from him as a reminder that he is always with you. After losing someone close to me, I would have very vivid dreams with them in it and they were often very beautiful and comforting. Over time, I started to "forget" the way they look, sound and smell even though I didn't do this intentionally. These dreams, looking at old pics and smelling his clothing are all reminders of a spiritual world beyond life. He is and always will be with you, even if it isn't here on earth. Love you always! Sending thoughts and prayers

The lyrics are actually, “well, the years start coming, and they don’t stop coming”.

HAHA no way😂

Literally bawled when you started talking about how much you and Lucy would call your dad for help on anything. I am the same with mine and I can’t imagine how hard it is to lose a parent. You’re so strong and I know your dad will always be with you.

clicked for teddy, stayed for teddy

It's been 7 years since my grandpa died, and I was very close with him. He died my junior year of high school. I still to this day cry randomly missing him. He had his own band, and the songs he used to sing when they come on the radio it makes me sad. I never used to be the person to go out to cemetery, I would legit be freaked out and scared of them. Ever since he died I feel peace when I go there and sit at his grave. In May I went through something very horrible with a guy and I went and sat by my grandpa's grave for over an hour listening to Christian music and just sitting in the quiet praying.

It will be 20 years this October that I lost my dad to lung cancer. You will always be emotional about the memories but it does get easier to talk about him without crying. Believe it will get easier but your loss is super fresh so never feel bad for crying. It's completely healthy. I lost my dad right after my 11th birthday. I am so happy that you got to spend 22 glorious years with your dad. I even cherish the 11 I got to spend with mine. Know that he is always with you and he shows up in your dreams because he knows when you need to see him.

I MISSEDDDD TEDDY SO SO MUCH IN THE VLOGS

love you. you are so strong. you are so beautiful. you are so inspiring. you are so empowering. never forget that all you do uplifts and influences every aspect of my life. you have gotten me through thick and thin, ups and downs, as well as spooky and calm. you are so amazing and thank you so much for leading down the (sometimes scary) path of life

i just watched your last vlog and soon as i got done this one popped up. i’m proud of how strong you are u motive me everyday, i wanna be just like you when i’m older. thank you for everything ur amazing 💞

Gretchen, I want to make a longer post about this at a later time but.. my dad was diagnosed with ALS a few months ago and it’s been really tough. Watching your videos and listening to your podcast has helped me immensely. You are allowing me to give myself grace (as you said) and understand it’s okay to not always have the answers and practice to be present and grateful for what we do have. I really want to thank you, and just know if anything you’ve really helped me feel less alone and scared of the unknown. So much love to you. Keep on keeping on❤️

Rachel Jean I’m thinking of you and your family. Your strength is/ will always be admirable

you can have more than one bank ! - tbh I have 3, i use them for different things and it really helps with keeping track of finances - one I use for things like bills another for saving, so i don't look at it or touch it unless I need to and another is where i have my free-to-spend money. My best advice would to keep your home one but also get a national one so you can access anywhere - and now with online banking and vemno etc its really easy to move money.

I’ve been watching this channel for a while now and trying to catch up to the most recent vlogs and what you are up too. This channel is so good!! I love how real you are and it makes us feel like we are part of your life and Taking us on the journey!

my heart does a little dance when I see you upload...anyone else lmao

I love how your vlogs are so honest and real. I don’t know if believe about angels visiting you in dreams but when you have dreams of passed away family members, it means that they are sending you so much love and letting you know they’re always with you. Your dad is always with all of you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Gretchen I got so emotional with you when you were talking about your dad but hes always here and hes watching you go through your new life journey with max and brody ❤ he would be proud!!

For renters insurance, if possible download the "lemonade" app! It's a pink app that does renters insurance for super cheap and isn't tied to other insurance things so it's super simple and easy!! I use it for my apartment and it was so simple

Gretchen you’re such a comforting soul!

maybe ask Brooke Miccio? She probably had renter's insurance for her apartment in Bos, but I don't think she had to get Mass plates! Also, her mom has that apt in Penn so prob has renter's insurance there, but probably still has NY plates - they would be a great resource!

The things that remind you of your dad will always come. Wether it's an object, situation or a memory. I find beauty in it, it's comforting. This made me miss my mom 💕

My Dad passed away a week before your Dad. I cry, I get the dreams, I wake up sad. But as much as it hurts you have to remember you're not alone💗💗

I lost my stepdad who raised me in march and when you put your dad's shirt on i just could not help but cry

i love how open you are talking about your dad. i lost my dad over 7 years ago and i know i push away thinking about it now which is not healthy, so it's really good for me to hear you speaking so openly about how you feel even though it's so hard. sending love.

Just wanted to say how great you are. You inspire me to be more independant and strong every time i watch one of your videos, thank you for always being a bright light! u rock

Can you do a Q&Q on your balcony in Albany like you did last year? It was cute and ambient

Hey, I’m also moving to a different state but every state has different rules about needing to switch your car insurance and registration, regardless of your renters insurance. Definitely check with PA’s DMV about the requirements for car registration

I’m obsessed with this movie! Confessions of a shopaholic is so magical lol! It’s my childhood dream

Confessions of a Shopaholic is such an underrated movie! There’s actually an entire book series, too! The books are awesome and so cute!

Meghan Bowen omg I love the book series and I have never heard anyone talk about it

Ηi, so I work for Amica Insurance as an underwriter! My advice is to cxl your renters policy while you are living at home. All your personal property is covered under your mum’s HO policy! You can restart your renters insurance once you are living in PA w/ Max. On the auto policy, this depends on who your insurance company is, but where your car is being garaged is where your auto policy should be based. If you are planning on living in PA full-time with your car garaged there for more than 3 months, I would advise re-registering your car in PA. The issue with not saying anything is that some insurance companies can reserve the right to non renew your policy due to eligibility requirements. I know you said you will plan to buy a place in MA in the future, but if you don’t have solidified plans for that and are going to be in PA for a longer time....I would re register your car. You may be able to get away with keeping your MA DL tho! I know its tricky when you are basically moving short term, but you do want your car reg/insured in the state that it is garaged to insure the best coverage! If you keep your MA policy, there could be issues as I know the MA DMV has a lot of rules and regulations ... more than some states. Double check the PA DMV as well! Hopefully this helps! Love your videos !

Your so strong, your moms lucky to have you home !

You’re so incredibly strong Gretchen, just know that your dad is with you every step of the way as you go through life!! You have so much support and inspire so many people!! Love you so much Gretchen, sending you all the positive energy and love in the world, you deserve it all❤️❤️

Maybe you could get renters insurance through a separate company that isn’t the same insurance as your car and cancel the policy you’re currently paying for since you’re no longer at that address. Try statefarm 😊hope this helps

YESSS QUEEN!! Been loving the consistent uploading!!!

Gretchen, I lost my mom almost 2 years ago and I love listening to the ways you cope, it helps me so much. I never dream about my mom and I wish I did so bad so it felt like I was with her again

I just want you to know that your dad would be so proud of you, you’re so strong. I have loved watching you grow and heal, your journey is impactful. ❤️

100000% its okay to talk about your dad, I am in the same exact boat

I relate to this so much, Gretch. I just lost my dad a little over a month ago and even though I am 26 I am feeling the EXACT same as you. When you share your feelings, it really makes me feel less alone. So thank you. XO

I love that you have been vlogging so much lately!!! You are such a light!

Oh my gosh I’m crying watching this vlog!! Gretchen I’m so sorry for your lost, but as you said grieving really is a process! I appreciate you talking to us about that! Love you ❤️

all of the stuff you described about the olly sleep vitamins is very common. like waking up in the morning is considered a hangover from the vitamins. thats why you feel like you need more sleep. and a lot of people get bad nightmares and even bed wetting. i really want to take sleep vitamins but i read all of this online and it scared me so i havent tried any yet.

I just want to say how much I absolutely love the videos where you share you grieving! I lost my mom 3 years ago. Its still hard, and i still cry, so hearing others stories of there feelings and,struggles and how they handle loosing a parent and,someone close helps,so much! Keep talking,about,it. After 3 years if i can say anything it would be to keep talking and keep remembering with your family. Keep him as alive in your life as you can. Talk to him. It may sound crazy to some people but it,helps. Love you! And maybe ill see you around Boston when you make it back there in the future! Good luck in Albany and PA.😍

I had the same exact feeling of “are they still here?” when my grandma first passed away. I’m so sorry for your loss, you’re such an amazing influence and I truly don’t know how you stay so positive ❤️ When I would go to my grandmas house, I would think in my head like of course she’s here but like she’s not so it was weird. Also, when you describe your dad, he reminds me so much of my dad like calling him for every single thing. ❤️ Keep your head up, you’re so beautiful and Max loves you so much!!

You are supposed to notify the car insurance when you move (even if it’s a simple move to a different part of the same town), but you may be able to avoid it by not telling them you moved for as long as reasonably possible. You can do the same with registration- wait until it’s about to expire, then register in the state you live in. If you don’t need renters insurance (not all places require it) you can get away with not updating your home address for some time and sliding through the cracks! This may not be the most honest thing to do but it’s easy to get away with and we all know the DMV and registration fees suck!

i lost my dad when i was 11 and i find it so hard to be on social media on father's day. im a little late but sending you all the love

I love watching your videos because I always feel like I am just talking to a friend. You seem so genuine and real :)

When you're in the environment where you spent most of the time with a loved one who has passed, the memories are everywhere and you're face-to- face with their absence. I understand exactly what you mean about it being hard to be at home, which was the center of your dad's world. My parents have both passed away. I have my dad's old hat he used to wear in the garden. It still has some of his sweat stains on it and I can't bear to part with it. My mother's old anitque dresser recently found a new home in my home. Every time I open a drawer, I am reduced to a puddle of tears. It still smells just like her.

I love your vlogs so much 😍😍 thanks for spreading positivity in this crazy time we are in 😅

Get AAA, they are amazing! You can get renters insurance, car, etc, and they have always been very helpful and responsive! When you move you'll have to update things to that state still but your info will stay in your account so it should be easier

Your videos are my source of serotonin lol. I am 2 years younger than you and I have been watching you since we were both in high school!!

I work with SOOOO many home disaster clients. YES get renter's insurance. You do have to tell them you're moving because it can change how much you're paying and if you were to have a fire or disaster in your home it would not cover it if the address wasn't updated. You do not need an in-state license to get renter's insurance, I had a Nevada license and am currently living in Illinois.

Hi...25-year-old here who has moved around quite a bit! I know it can be annoying and expensive, but definitely switch everything over...your plates, license, registration, any policies...you can get fined by the previous state's DMV if you don't do it within a certain time period!

I lost my mom in 2012 and your videos always help me because it reminds me that others are going through the same thing :) Don't ever feel bad for talking about it; it's a part of you!!! Stay strong xo

i agree with what u said abt ur dad! it never gets easier but u start to know how to deal w it! love u gretchen 😘

love your personality!! makes my day when a new vlog comes out☺️

My therapist taught me that dreams are just your subconscious processing things from your day. This realization made me feel a lot better when I had nightmares. Hope that helps anyone out there 💕

About the renter's insurance, you can keep whatever ID, and have whatever license plates and just get renters insurance from someone other than your car insurance. I moved back to Colorado this year after going to college in Hawaii. I still have Hawaii plates, a Colorado driver's license and Hawaii insurance but I went through just a random renters insurance I googled and they don't care at all if your car insurance is different.

Your Dad’s spirit will always be with you ❤️ He loves you very much and is very proud of you and Lucy 😇

going home after the loss of a loved one is so hard. sending you love

I love Confessions of a Shopaholic! Now I want to watch it haha. I also get melatonin dreams, they're usually like nightmares and it's the worst!

My goldendoodle is named Teddy too, and he is the sweetest, cuddliest, most adorable pup ever lol. Every goldendoodle I have ever met has been so sweet and friendly like our Teddy's:)

I have a golden doodle and he’s the sweetest guy ever! I was told that golden doodles make bad guard dogs because they want to be friends with everyone lol which definitely describes my dog Mozzarella! Funny she heard the exact opposite though

Gretch your the best!! I literally just love you so much! I have had MARATHONS of your videos this quarantine let me tell you... like all the way back to you and Taylor talking about pedialyte!

So my husband has ALS, he was diagnosed at the age of 28 and i was 24. We weren't married at the time but he had bought my ring two weeks before the diagnosis. Unfortunately with ALS your given 2-5 years to live and you loose all body functions but my your mind remains intact. We have a 1 yr old son now and is such a blessing. I find myself having dreams of how hard it will be to not have him here with me.

You're going to have to change your license within 30 days of your move. And yes you do need to change your insurance to the state that you are resident of. It's very wise to have renters insurance as you never know what can happen.

i have to be really careful w melatonin! i love how fast i fall asleep but it gives me weird dreams sometimes too. I found that most come in a 5mg dose but i can take way less and still feel as sleepy with less side effects! try taking 2.5 or even less!

I haven't lost a parent but my best friend just passed away and he was older with so much experience so I can relate with losing the one who you went to for everything! Stay strong girl, xo

omg, Confessions of a Shopaholic is my fav

Yes! Most places require renters insurance when you move into an apartment. I would say that maybe you can update the address that your car is parked most of the time (which I assume will be in Pennsylvania) but I’m sure they won’t make you change the state that you’re registered in because it’s only a temporary move. I would call your insurance agency! Also, for your bank, just start to look at your your bank statements and write down throughout the month the different automatic recurring charges that you have like your car payment, insurance, Spotify, etc. that way you don’t have to get overwhelmed to do it all at once. Once you gather this, I would just open a savings and a checking or more than one at a national bank and start to switch everything over. Normally the bank you currently are with can give you a list of recurring charges you have every month! I’m sorry this is a ramble but I’ve dealt with a lot of this since post grad too and it sucks because it’s so much work but I think it’s easiest when you do it as a process not all at once

i love u gretchen!!!! thank u for being a light in this scary time

I completely recommend to keep everything back home until you’re in your own home. I’ve moved SO much and my fiancé still has everything mailed to his parents and it’s SO Helpful. Meanwhile I’m always scrambling to change my address every time we move :( Only thing that sucks is if you get pulled over police will give you a hard time for not having it updated. But just say you’re visiting, until you’re in your own (long term) home! Hope this helps!!

Love your vids!! Golden doodles are usually well tempered and friendly as long as they are bred properly. They are a really popular mixed breed so a lot of people breed them and don’t always do it safely and therefore the dogs may have health or temperament problems :( but as long as the puppy was properly bred and cared for they are great dogs!!! I really want to look into getting a golden doodle, I have a German shorthaired pointer and gets along well with doodles!!!

You can just get renters insurance through a separate company! My plates and car insurance are in PA but my renters insurance is in Maryland, it’s never been an issue

Goldendoodles are so friendly!! Idk who's spreading rumors that they aren't but every goldendoodle I've ever owned/met has been super sweet 💞

your house is giving me nostalgia

You can keep your car registered in Mass and cancel the renters insurance! See if somewhere will allow you or max to get renters insurance at the apartment or the complex might have a renters insurance option for you too (that one is usually more expensive)

definitely switch ur plates, it’s a headache but you’ll be so screwed if anything happens and you haven’t. also try zzz quil! it’s not over the counter just at a drug store and their great for sleep!

Most apartments require renters insurance. Some properties have a company that they work with so you can keep your renters and car insurance separate, but it may be more expensive that way. The only thing about having your car registered to another state is that most states require you to register your car in the state of your residence.

you are so pure :’) sending all the love!

As an insurance agent (in PA) you will need to obtain new insurance in PA and register your car in PA. Also, I would keep a renters policy- they are fairly inexpensive and you'll get a multi policy discount.

IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO COME TO A-TOWN I ALREADY KNOW ILL SEE YOUUUUU 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I lost my Mom to Lung Cancer December 28th 2017 so I totally understand. It's very hard.

for renters insurance, i use lemonade and its literally 5 dollars a month!! you should def look into that, its an app, also its a plus so you don't have to switch over your car stuff again

When it was thundering I literally looked over at my window thinking it was raining!! Oof!!🤣🙃🙃⛈ have a great week Gretchen!!💙💗

All states have different rules, for example when my family moved from North Carolina to Texas they had a rule that you have 90 days from the day you move to change your drivers license/ plates over. So check PA’s dmv rules :). I use lemonade for renters insurance! Very affordable and if you talk to your service provider for it you should be able to pause it till Pennsylvania and then change the address (obv your rates will change) but yeah!

everytime you upload i drop EVERYTHING to watch:)

I feel you on putting on makeup. I leave the house so rarely now there's no point in doing so. I miss it so much that just going to the grocery store is cause for me to go full glam makeup and even dress up better than I normally might.

Hi Gretchen! Mid twenties advice here from someone that’s lived in to two states post grad :) If your move to Pennsylvania is truly temporary you can probably get away with not switching your residency. You don’t need to get renters through the same company as your car insurance. That being said, if you live in the state of Pennsylvania you should technically establish residency there. I have no idea if this actually happens but I have been told if you get in an accident or pulled over and they realize you live there you can get some kind of penalty. Not totally sure of the legitimacy of this, but because of this I have always just switched my registration over to my new state. Hope this helps!

My heart is full, watching you talk about your Dad.🌸🌸 Its good that you talk about. Where is your necklace from? It’s so cute.

chase’s classes look so good!

With the OLLY sleep gummies I only take half of one every night and it’s the perfect amount. Try only taking half of one and it will put you to sleep but with no crazy dreams or trouble waking up!!!

We 👏🏼love👏🏼Gretchen’s👏🏼content👏🏼

went through the EXACT same issue with renters and car insurance last year. I keep my car registered at my parents’ house, so that’s the address on my car insurance and license. I tried to get my renters insurance (for my apartment in a different city than my parents’ house) through the same company but it just was too complicated/they wouldn’t let me have two addresses- so I went with a totally separate company for my renters’ insurance. I’ve done that for the past year and it has been totally fine, no issues!

i’ve lived in california for two years and still have all michigan stuff with my car/ insurance, etc. If you aren’t going to stay there for sure for more than two years i wouldn’t switch it. Your insurance will still cover if things happen in Pennsylvania!

Teddy is so cute!!!!!! Love you G! ❤️❤️❤️

Love your videos they are always so entertaining!

I LOVE YOU thank you for making such amazing videos! Keep being you :)

you may have alrdy explained this but i thought max was supposed to stay with you and your mom for this last month before yall went to pennsylvania!
